Unless there has been any changes; 8 (of 58260 total). Only one was killed in action, when a communist rocket struck her medical facility. Two were killed while riding as passengers in a Jeep & helicopter, and 5 died during Operation Baby Lift, when their C-5 Galaxy crashed during take off during the evacuation of South Vietnam in 1975.

The previous answer was absurdly high.

There are currently 58,272 names engraved on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The Memorial opened with 58,191, but several were added as new information became available. It is possible that some of these names are those of veterans who, in fact, survived the war, and were listed on the Memorial because of clerical errors.

The names list, in chronological order, each military member who died as a result of the Vietnam War from 1959 through 1975. Additionally, each year on Memorial Day new names are added of deaths directly caused by the war but occurring later.
